Originally broadcast live on KSAN, Flamin' Groovies performance at the Vaillencourt Fountain
featured the same line-up as the group that recorded on Sire Records. This
17-song set serves to document a typical Groovies gig of the time with staples
like "Shake Some Action", "Tell Me Again" and "First
Plane Home", alongside choice covers of The Byrds "Feel A Whole Lot
Better", Moby Grape's "Fall On You", The Beatles Please Please
Me and From Me To You, Chuck Berrys Around & Aroundand Let It Rock, The Rolling Stones 19th
Nervous Breakdown and Paint It Black, Baby, Please Dont Go, and even
NRBQ's "I Want You Bad". The Groovies Unleashed
was a glorious beast, like watching the best-stocked jukebox in the world grow
legs and declare that yeah, the records it played were all great in themselves,
but wouldnt it be fun if they sounded like this so theyd speed some up and
slow some down, add fresh guitars and growling vocals, and out in the crowd,
every oldie felt new, every singalong chorus was being sung for the first time,
and even old Chuck Berry sounded somehow fresh and ferocious.A glorious mash of Groovies own and others
oldies, this live show makes up in excitement what it lacks in fidelity, but is
eminently listenable whatever your mood.Their grasp on 19th Nervous Breakdown and Paint It Black is a
blueprint for everything you wish the Stones had done, while it still seems
incredible, all these decades long, that Shake Some Action isnt as indelibly
engrained on every music loving soul in the world as Please Please Me and
From Me to You. The Groovies Unleashed?This is the Groovies in excelsis, and the sooner someone sits down and compiles the
sprawling multi-label, multi-source mega box set that their career demands, the
better.You know
youll be first in line for it.  GoldmineMagazine.comGREAT!!
